Where
Does The American Dental Association (ADA) Stand On Vital health Issues?

When an
individual or organization tells a falsehood there is a need for more
falsehoods to support the original untruth. The American Dental
Association is currently in an untenable position because of lies they
have told in the past. Now if they come clean about these issues they
will be swallowed up in a flood of lawsuits they can not win.

There
are 4 issues that place them in the position of having a tiger by the
tail:

Untruth # 1 Fluoride Is
Safe In Our Drinking Water The only reason we
have fluoride in our water today is because sodium
fluoride is a toxic byproduct of the aluminum manufacturing industry.
No research was done about the safety of fluoride addition to drinking
water before this was implemented by Congress as a favor to the
aluminum industry. There is no evidence that fluoride decreases cavity
formation in teeth. In fact there is evidence of just the opposite. Dr.
Cornelius Steelink, Emeritus Professor of the Department of Chemistry
at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Az. studied fluoride exposure
in 26,000 school children. The results showed the more fluoride a child
drank the more cavities the child experienced. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency has classified fluoride as more
toxic than lead but less toxic than arsenic.

Paul
Ewing was appointed Administrator of the Federal Security Agency to get
rid of the troubling fluoride problem for the aluminum industry.
Rockefeller interests[1]
paid him $750,000 to get this accomplished. When fluoride appeared in
the water supply of Washington, D.C. the members of Congress had
bottled water placed in congressional offices. One senator always
carried a flask of spring water with him to fancy restaurants. He was
heard to remark” Not one drop of fluoridated water will ever
pass my lips”. When
the time came to place the fluoride in the drinking water no one knew
how much to place as there had been no research ever done on fluoride
in water supplies. A guess was
made. The toxicity of fluoride was well established by a later study
which compared 10 large U.S. cities fluoridating their water with 10
similar sized cities that did not use fluoride. After a 20 year follow
up the cities fluoridating their water were found to have 10 % more
cancer than the cities not using fluoride. These results prompted Dr.
Dean Burk, the Chief Chemist Emeritus of the U.S. National Cancer
Institute to remark “In
point of fact, fluoride causes more human death, and causes it faster,
than any other chemical.”

Untruth # 2 Root Canals
Are A Safe Operation You have read enough in
this article to hopefully convince you otherwise.

Untruth
# 3 Mercury (Silver) Amalgams Are Completely Safe.
The ADA must continue to fight for the safety of silver (mercury)
amalgams as caving in and admitting the truth would bury them in
lawsuits that they should lose. Many dentists have been persecuted and
prosecuted for speaking out against mercury amalgams (silver).

In 1984
the ADA heard a presentation about mercury hazards from Dr. Hal
Huggins. This presentation initiated a new policy for the ADA of removing
the licenses of any dentist who mentioned that mercury might be
dangerous. This was a
“gag rule.” Dentist Mark Breiner had an ongoing
battle with the ADA about his right to write articles in local
Connecticut newspapers in which he called attention to the toxicity of
mercury in amalgams. For its part in suppressing Dr.
Breiner’s right to free speech the State
of Connecticut was forced to pay the ACLU its legal fees in a July14
decision that gave dentists the right to speak freely.
Attorney Charlie Brown has been fighting the ADA for 7 years in
Florida, Arizona and Maryland.

He
states “The ADAs rule of forcing silence on the part of
dentists has been one of the greatest impediments to consumers learning
the truth about amalgam or even learning that they are mainly mercury,
and not silver. A decade ago the ADAs monopoly was unchallenged and the
dental boards, it is still hard to believe, were agents
of the ADA, taking licenses from
dentists who would not kowtow to the gag rule.” These changes
show that the ADAs illegal power over dentists is beginning to unravel.
The ADA should never have had the power to remove licenses from
dentists who were simply speaking the truth.

Dr.
Paul Cummings of Wilmington, North Carolina taught gingival (gum)
disease at the University of North Carolina Dental School. He now
recommends using hydrogen peroxide and taking baking soda rubbed into
the diseased gums after the mouth has been professionally cleaned. He
states that this program is obtaining a 98 % success rate far
better than he ever obtained with surgery. Cimmings relates that
“Not one clinical study has ever shown that periodontal
surgery was necessary’.
This surgery brings monetary reward to surgeons but does not eliminate
receding gums, bleeding gums, nutritional deficits and vitamin and
nutrient (CoQ 10) lack. Persons suffering from gum disease have
a breakdown in the connective tissue supporting the gums. How can you
correct a nutritional problem with an operation?

Biologic
dentistry is worlds apart from conventional dentistry. These dentists
have a consciousness of how treatment of the teeth and jaws will affect
the health of the individual and how it will affect that persons immune
system. There is awareness that once a dental procedure has been done
on a tooth (amalgam placement or gum surgery) that tooth
becomes more vulnerable to needing future dental procedures.

Conventional
dental cleaning removes a thin layer of enamel from the teeth with each
trip to the dental office. Teeth cleaning with ultrasonic techniques
does not remove enamel.

Different
metals in the mouth (mercury, gold, nickel etc.) dissolve in the oral
fluids. These dissolved metals produce electrical charges that may
disrupt the normal electromagnetic meridians seen in good health (oral
galvanism). Immune function can be disturbed resulting in low white
blood cell counts and defective immune responses. Additionally abnormal
unhealthy electrical waves may lead to interference with proper
neurologic function of distant structures (foot paralysis etc). Unusual
pain problems need to raise the possibility that the electromagnetic
meridians are being disturbed by a root canal abscess or cavitation.

Pain
from the temporomandibular joint may lead to curvature and
osteoarthritic changes in the neck and thoracic vertebra. These changes
can be instantly resolved by an oral implant created by dentist Dr.
Farrand Robson of Spokane, Washington. This implant restores proper
flow of air into the posterior pharynx. When this airway obstruction is
eliminated by the implant the excessive release of adrenaline that
permitted survival by causing constant activity of the pharyngeal
muscles to improve air flow ceases resolving all symptoms.

Allergic
reactions may occur to metals and chemical sensitivity may develop to
ceramics used instead of mercury to restore amalgams. Tests to detect
possible allergic reactions and metal sensitivity can be performed
prior to dental procedures. The biocompatibility tests of Dr. Reinhold
Voll and Fritz Kramer D.D.S. and the Applied Kinesiology techniques of
George Goodheart D.C. are able to aid dentists in selecting materials
to place in the mouth that are
less likely to cause allergic and chemical reactions.

Removal
of multiple amalgams on a single visit can
result in acute neurologic dysfunction including paralysis and coma.
The process of extracting an amalgam releases a cloud of mercury vapor
into the air that when breathed by the patient creates a potential
problem with acute mercury toxicity
if that person has multiple amalgams. There is no test that can discern
if a patient is in danger when several dental amalgams are removed in
one sitting. The most common
symptom of mercury poisoning is striking unexplained irritability but
headaches, depression and mental cloudiness are also commonly seen..

A
program to bind mercury before amalgams are removed appears to be a
good idea. This should be started with an agent such as Essential Daily
Defense at least one week prior to planned surgery. Essential Daily
Defense EDD chelates mercury, iron, cadmium and lead out of the body in
a safe manner. I have taken EDD for more than 2 years and intend to
continue it until Codex stops supplements. These toxic metals not only
cause a multitude of health problems they are a major factor in the
production of arteriosclerosis.

Mercury
poisoning can be avoided by limiting the number of amalgam extractions
done on one visit and having the patient, dentist and dental assistant breathing
air from a remote site containing oxygen through a mask during the
procedure.

The
room where amalgams are removed is the most dangerous room in a dental
office. Mercury using dentists
and their assistants have a high rate of depression, impaired
mentation, tremor and infertility because of chronic exposure to this
mercury vapor from silver (50 % mercury) amalgam placements and
extractions.

Biologic
dentistry is concerned with selecting the therapy that will cause the
least disturbance to the immune system. My impression is that the
general public will embrace these new dental methods with open arms.
